My first Corvette
Hey guys and gals. I just purchased an '88 coupe (automatic) and I love it. It needs some work to get it up to where I want it, but it's mechanically sound and runs and drives great. I can't wait to get up in the morning and get behind the wheel. I been reading the posts here for a few weeks (before and after my purchase) and I know I'll have some technical questions down the road. I want to thank you already for the help I know I'll receive from you experinced vette people. Hello and thanks again.

Welcome to CAC. Sounds like you have one just like mine. Where are you in Central IL? I went to school at EIU in Charleston. If you live nearby hopefully you will get over to Mid America Motorwerks and see all the Corvette accessories and museum.

Congratulations on the 88'. Isn't the torque such a rush?
When are you going to start doing some mods to it?

This summer I think I'm just going to enjoy driving the car. Next spring I'm going to have her repainted. I need to redo the exhaust. I'm thinking about headers and a complete dual exhaust if thats possible. Eventually I'm going to have a friend of mine build me a 383 stroker motor. Somewhere in the 500-550 hp range.
